Things to Do on Palm Island

Snorkeling: If you’ve always dreamed of exploring azure island waters, Palm Island can make that dream come true. Snorkeling and scuba diving adventures can be arranged through the Palm Island Resort activities coordinator.

Canoe and Kayak: Eco-friendly excursions are available for those who want to experience a new adventure and see more of the wildlife. Rentals are available, and times can be scheduled with the Activities Coordinator.

Aerobics: Water Aerobic classes are also available. Just check the schedule.

Fishing: Visitors can enjoy fishing from the shore or via boat. Anglers can wade into the knee-deep flats and hope to catch snook or redfish.

On the bay side of the island, stay near the mangroves to catch snapper or take a ride out to deeper water and try your hand at catching grouper, or fish from the beach for Spanish mackerel. Charter fishing is available.

Kick Back and Relax

If you’re looking for an island vacation that takes you away from it all, just kick back and enjoy the unhurried pace of island life. Go for a walk on the beach, collect shells and marvel at the porpoises skimming the surface of the water.

How to Get There

Palm Island is located in Southwest Florida. The island has no bridge to the mainland, so guests ferry to the island aboard the Katie B car ferry, unless you arrive by boat. For more information visit the Palm Island Transit website.
